what's the differences between collocated architecture
and distributed architecture??

My understanding is that collocated architecture has
everything in a single machine? i.e. There is only
1 machine in middle business tier?

But distributed architecture distributes the load in
multiple machines? i.e. There are multiple machines
in middle business tier?

Please advise. thanks!!

This is off topic for comp.lang.c.

This is offtopic in at least two, possibly three of the groups you
x-posted to. Try comp.programming.

Collocated architecture is an optimized distributed architecture. While
you can use different mechanisms for communication/coordination, e.g.,
shared memory,
basically you can use the mechanisms required for distributed computing for
collocated architecture.
The reverse is not quite as likely to work. Errors will be much more likely
and error recovery becomes
a more important aspect. Latency becomes much more important. Locating
services is harder.
Confidentiality and integrity of messages becomes an issue.

But a lot of technical terms like this don't have "a meaning". You will
frequently find that different people use the same words for related but
slightly different things, and only later on does the community settle on a
definition.
